Skin diseases are prevalent nowadays. Several cases happen during the birth itself. Sometimes, there will be no reason in medical science. Here is a saint for us to as intercession. Saint Bartholomew the apostle has long been associated with skin diseases. He is considered the patron saint of dermatology.
This distinction is attributed to one theory regarding his proposed manner of death. After Bartholomew cured the daughter of King Polymios of Armenia, the King converted to Christianity. As a result, Astyages, the King’s brother, sentenced St Bartholomew to be flayed and skinned alive, after which he was crucified upside down.
